Big Rock $15 6 packs?!?

I see on Monday that all of Big Rocks 6 packs are going up to $15 per 6 pack! I don't often purchase many of their beers but found it strange that they would raise their brands almost $2 per 6 pack. Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come for other small brewers.

Agreed! I personally really like the majority of their brews. At least they are releasing these seasonal brands that otherwise aren't available. I'm looking forward to trying this fall mixer once it makes its way down here!

Absolutely loved the Mad Tom but was very dissapointed in the Dark. Great aroma but beer came off a little flat. Aroma reminded me of Mill St Coffee (good!), but beer tasted a bit flat like Waterloo Dark (not so good!)

I wasn't crazy on it either. I definetly wouldn't buy it again. People are liking it, or atleast curious about it, as our initial shipment sold out in a week. We've got 4 more cases coming next week. I thought it had a rather skunky nose and I didn't really get much of the fruit taste in it. With ou...

As an employee of TBS, at least at my store, aside from the beer on pallets in the self serve section, all of which are Molson, Labatts, and Sleeman, the actual shelving placement we have no such instruction on where to place anything, other than in the "discount", "premium", &qu...

Muskoka Survival Pack at TBS

I know there was an old thread regarding this when it was first announced but I was wondering for those who have picked up one of these, what was your impression of it. Reason for asking is my TBS finally got this listed along with the Mad Tom IPA 6 packs and I will be purchasing my share for sure!!...

What's the verdict on this stuff?? I looked on RateBeer and reviews weren't too favourable. My TBS should be receiving it tomorrow
